KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 16:12 KJV” I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”

During the discourse with His disciples before His suffering, He said to them, I have many things to say to you, yet you cannot take it. The disciples have heard a lot from the master, yet they had not been taught everything that they needed to hear. The Lord did not say, He is not able to say it unto them because the time was short, no. He said they could not bear them, or they could not bring themselves up to accept those things. They needed an upgrade of their spiritual senses.

These people had read a lot of things about the Christ who was right before them, yet they could not understand or accept. After the Lord’s resurrection, He met two of His disciples walking to a village called Emmaus. These disciples’ level of ignorance was such that the Lord said in Luke 24:25 KJV “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:” Sadly it was not only these two who were slow of heart to believe and understand in actual fact all of them lacked that ability to hear and be able to accept certain truths.

There are many in the church today who lack the ability to receive and keep spiritual truths. The great lack of understanding in the church today is due to over-concentration on other non-spiritual things that make their spiritual perception very low. If you spend most of your time on social media and on otherworldly non-spiritual things, then you would not be able to hold a certain level of truth. Spiritual capacity is always increased through prayer, fasting, selflessness, humility, and the study of God’s word, as the Holy Spirit takes the lead in doing these things. God will also tell those who hunger for closer encounters with the Spirit.

THOUGHT: GOD WILL ALWAYS GIVE THOSE WHO HUNGER FOR MORE.
